*Sigh.* I have struggled a bit with A Muse stamps ~ I love them to pieces, but I haven't mastered that minimalistic-with-surprising-little-details style that I associate with A Muse.
Not that this is it -- I don't think this is really traditional A Muse style. BUT -- this is the best A Muse card I've ever made and I am so psyched about it!!
And how about this.... the quotation on this card speaks volumes to my own journey with stamping and A Muse, too.
It's been a good day.
All stamps by A Muse. The background is the solid chrysanthemum and I used my Versamark Dazzle pad and crystal clear e.p. ~ the shimmer shows up better IRL.
All panels are raised on dimensionals. And the images are also colored or over-colored with Spica glitter pens ~ love 'em!!
For the sentiment, I first stamped the cardstock with the bamboo image, stamped and stamped off multiple times.
Hope you enjoyed seeing this card ~ I'm just tickled with it myself!!

aw - your card is GREAT! you should be proud ;) i love your color combo!
and i love what you did with the sentiment. the bamboo background is just perfect. and the clear embossing is really cool on the black base. i haven't used my dazzle pads with embossing - didn't think the sparkle would show at all - so i'll have to try that.
